ROFL! That is simply gold! :laugh2:

Very kick ass footage! Thanks for putting them up on the web and sharing them :-)

Parts of me that are sore: - legs (lots of walking) - feet (^^^) - back (lots of dancing) - neck (good 'ol whiplash from the hard trance) - face (AAAaahhhh! The sunblock on my face must have worn off faster than I initially expected... Now I have bad sunburn right along my hairline) Other than that, I'm peachy

I'll have to agree with a lot of the comments made by spinstar, however, the statement that "house music sucks" is not one of the comments I really agree with. I thought the house tent was really ripping it up, and the disadvantage there was that there were to many people trying to get into the small tent. However, the comments referring to the lack of crowd enthusiasm in the house stage are hard to refute. For the times that I was in the house tent, I noticed that a lot of people were just standing there watching the lights and not dancing or anything. Maybe some people were just in the wrong tent at the wrong time I guess. All I can say is that James Holden had me moving to the beat when he was spinning Although, I arrived too late to catch Edgar V, and the house tent was too full to even think about getting in when Oscar G was spinning, so I can't comment on their performances at ultra (although I'm sure they ripped it up). However, like spinstar noted, Way Out West was a bit more downtempo, but still rather good. And of course, Tiesto ripped the crowd up really well The chemical brothers didn't seem to really be my thing, so I went to catch some of the other performances. Paul Oakenfold was a bit too downtempo for my liking as well. Of course though, Ferry Corsten did very good with what little time he had. He had the entire crowd jumping with rock your body and digital punk And as for Rabbit in the Moon.... *jaw hits floor* Definitely gets my vote for best visual performance at Ultra! The music really wierded me out, but the performance was nothing short of excellent.

Overall I think this year's ultra was pretty good. Good atmosphere, great people, spectacular performances, and good music. HOWEVER: (gripes) The house tent was a cool idea... but it would have been better off as an open stage. The tent was way too crowded and was too freaking warm to even think about dancing while in there. Although, I managed to catch James Holden in there like I wanted to (He kicked ass as usual). I wanted to catch some of the other greats like Oscar G while there too, but it was impossible to get in the tent. Basswalk Records stage -- WTF?! where was it?! I was hoping to catch Johan Gielen and Marco V... but no stage! </gripes> Anyhow, I was able to catch most of the shows that I wanted to see. I was able to catch Tiesto, PVD, James Holden, Way Out West, Chemical Brothers, and Ferry Corsten.

I'm heading over to Miami first thing in the morning to hit Ultra. Can't wait!!! :bounce:

Yes... But I'm afraid it's true.... This thread has been

It's just like their motto note: "Clean sheets. Stiff drinks" I stayed there last year, and it was a really nice place actually. The people working the front desk were pretty cool and hooked me up with free passes to opium gardens. That and the rooms were indeed clean as well, and they have a nice lobby with tasteful house music playing. I'd definitely recommend them

Marco Island isn't _that_ special to be honest. I guess it gets boring fast when you live 1 mile away from the place

Probably slim unless you have a press pass, unfortunately.

Nice! I'll try and hit the 2:30. If i happen to miss it, then 6:00. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone for the first time

I'm sure this has been posted long before, but oh well.... It's another contribution to the thread so funketeer doesn't feel like he's the only one posting the vids http://www.glodev.com/call_for_help-a-thon_blooper.wmv

This will be my first time at ultra as well, but from what I understand, GrooveTickets will have a booth set up at the entrance where you can pick up your tickets. Don't forget your ID, receipt, and purchasing credit card!

General admission tickets are still up for sale and can be purchased from groovetickets at http://www.groovetickets.com/OrderSystem/groove/eventviewqb.asp?Affilid=93&EventsID=8038&PGName=Ultra

ROFL! That's great! ... better yet.. .that's GOLD! :laugh:
